I had the pleasure of receiving these Raaw Macaw bars and they are great! They are all natural raw food bars that are perfect to grab on the go! I loved every flavor I tried!! I would highly recommend them!

Raaw Macaw! is a bakery without the ovens! Every Macaw! Bar is handmade from scratch using simple, all-natural ingredients that promote a healthy and thoughtful snack without abandoning indulgence. Choose from their popular classic flavors like Cookie Dough, Coconut Husk, and Brownie Batter, or use their "Build-a-Bar" feature to create your very own custom energy bars! Choose from the ingredients and name your original recipe; great for sharing with friends and family and giving as a gift!

I received my body wrench last week and this thing is just awesome. I am so impressed, I may not need my massage therapist anymore, lol. Seriously though, the body wrench can be configured into many different forms to massage and target various areas. I used to use my foam roller for this but it pales in comparison to the body wrench. I found knots in my shoulders I didn't even know I had. If you are not familiar with the body wrench, I encourage you to watch a few of the short videos I posted at the end of this blog. They go through how to configure it as well as how to use it. For a limited time, you can use code FM20 at checkout and receive 20% off your purchase at www.bodywrenchtraining.com. Fitness Motivation for Ordinary people will also be doing a giveaway of the body wrench on Facebook so be on the lookout for that as well. Here is some info from the Body Wrench Website on the product:

"The Body Wrench is the strength and fitness
multi-tool. With this single, ingenious system you can warm-up, build
muscle, speed post-workout recovery and, whenever you're in the mood,
soothe aches and pains.

Body Wrench Muscle Optimization

Phase 1 – Prep

Rolling-out on The Wrench awakens and primes cold or quiet
muscles to increase mobility and reduce the risk of injury during
workouts and competitions. You'll lubricate muscles, tendons and
joints, reduce joint stress and minimize both fatigue, swelling, and
stiffness. Plus, it feels good!

Shorten recovery time and reduce inflammation post
workout/competition by quickly breaking up muscle adhesions (trigger
points), while sending waves of fresh, oxygenated blood through
every nook and cranny of stressed muscles with a set of targeted,
sequenced roll-outs. It feels great and it quickly primes muscles to
maximize the process of creating new, healthy muscle fiber"

A personal friend of mine (IT Geek turned fitness junky),
came up with an idea for an app. New to fitness, he was often unsure of what
exercises he should be doing, what muscles they were supposed to work and most
importantly, what the correct form was. There are an abundance of websites,
youtube videos, forums, etc. with tons of conflicting info and opinions. None
of these are very convenient, especially when you are at the gym... So, he took
it upon himself to develop his own app to meet such a need.

In Learn mode, the app currently gives you instant access to
animated 3D renders of 35 exercises (more to come in future releases). These
were modeled using real professional trainers performing the exercise to ensure
they are displaying proper form. You can pan the screen at any angle to get a
complete view and understanding of the movement. Something you could never do
with a video. It gives useful tips and explanations. It even has graphical
indicators of where you should be feeling the "burn". That way you are
sure to get your "burn" on bro!

In Workout mode, it gives you access to a ton of pre-made
workouts sorted by type and/or body part. The workout interface is great,
giving you timed interval training for some and others click to move to the
next exercise (depending on the workout). It also speaks, which is great for
HIIT and Tabata. Given that I use Tabatas religiously in my training, the built
in standard Tabata timer is awesome.

Overall, the app is super smooth, responsive and great
for beginners and advanced athletes alike! If it sounds like something you
might like, please check it out. Its available for both Apple and Android devices.

I was so excited to receive 2 pairs of Versa Gripps for my husband and I to use. We've been using them for a few months now and absolutely love them. As a female, I definitely have limited grip strength and these enable me to lift heavier without straining my wrists. I also suffered from a broken wrist recently so they have also been a huge help in getting back in the full swing of my workouts faster. I absolutely love to use them when I'm working back. It's amazing how little strain I feel in my wrists when doing lat pull downs and dead lifts. If you use lifting straps or any other support product, I highly recommending giving versa gripps a try!

This self-supporting grip is the most effective way to increase
strength, muscle mass and stamina by eliminating grip fatigue and
enhancing muscle isolation. Ergonomically developed for any pulling or
pushing workout, Versa Gripps replace gloves, hooks, and lifting
straps.
